After being turned into cannon fodder, I relied on involution to survive

After nightfall, all the palace doors were locked. Although the palace people were dissatisfied with Xiao Shaoke's slow return, which made them nervous, they did not dare to express their dissatisfaction too obviously because he was visiting the Queen Mother.

Yu Zizhen did not touch the slightly cold food on the table, and let the system scan it. It was found that it was normal and non-toxic, so she put it into the system space.

When the palace attendants who were unwilling to serve him withdrew one after another, she immediately used the small milk sound system and began to search for valuables from all over the house.

After finishing searching Xiao Shaoke's private money in the palace, Yu Zizhen took the key to Xiao Shaoke's private treasury and emptied his private treasury.

Unlike the Little Lu family, the Big Lu family is still very good at showing off. Although Xiao Shaoke's palace attendants are not very respectful to him, he himself has always been able to enter Xiao Shaoke's private treasury.

Avoiding the dozing palace guards, Yu Zizhen climbed up the high palace wall after moving his things.

With the help of the system, she stepped on the walls and eaves and quietly returned to the eldest prince.

As she expected, Lu Tong, who could not wait for his wife to leave the palace tonight, made the decision to launch a mutiny after several struggles.

However, he didn't want to make too much noise, so he kept trying to suppress the anxiety and eagerness in his heart, and stayed in the mansion until the next day when the palace gates were opened.

The number of guards he can bring into the palace is limited. Usually he only brings those who need help running errands and have some martial arts skills, but it is different today. There are many scholars, and the number of them far exceeds the number of people he can bring into the palace according to regulations.

He originally thought that with his current status, few of the imperial guards responsible for guarding the palace would dare to stop him. However, the Empress Dowager Dalu blocked this loophole in the palace gate guards early.

When he saw that the Chief Manager of Cining Palace, who was loyal to the Great Lu family but was always polite and distant towards him, was actually standing at the gate of the palace early in the morning, Lu Tong knew that he would not be able to kill all these dead soldiers today. Brought into the palace.

Sure enough, the old man with the shrill voice just waved his hand, and a large number of archers appeared on both sides of the palace wall.

"Master Lu, the Queen Mother invites you."

Due to the situation, Lu Tong had to enter the palace alone in accordance with the request of the chief manager of Cining Palace.

At the same time, Yu Zizhen was also urging the emperor to leave quickly, "Lu Tong should enter the palace today, and the dispute between him and the Queen Mother will soon come to an end."

Whether it was Queen Mother Ying or Lu Tongying, or whether they finally reached an agreement again and let go of the eldest prince, second prince and the emperor Xiao Shaoke, there would definitely be no good end.

The emperor also knew this very well, so when Yu Zizhen urged him, he immediately grabbed the small baggage he had packed last night, and quietly slipped away through the secret passage with several of his close subordinates.

As for Yu Zizhen, she stayed in the name of "taking care of the aftermath", but actually she wanted to take away the most important jade seal, as well as the things in the emperor's palace and private treasury.

Gold and silver, antique porcelain, rare medicinal materials, and original ancient books. Whatever Yu Zizhen thought was valuable, she took them all away without leaving a trace.

Although the emperor is just a mascot emperor, his private treasury is inherited from the previous Daqi emperors. Even if he has given away a small part of the contents over the years, the remaining half is enough for Yu Zizhen to make a fortune. Made a fortune.

In order to carry away all the valuable things that originally belonged to the emperor, Yu Zizhen even spent points to exchange for another twenty square meters of system space.

Yu Zizhen, who returned home with a full load and was in a good mood, took out the gasoline he had prepared and set a fire in the eldest prince's palace. In order to move things, he was facing the emperor at the moment. As for the "eldest prince", since today is the eleventh rest day, not only did the emperor not go to court, but even the eldest prince just stayed in his own room. Read books and practice calligraphy in the bedroom.

After the "Emperor" came over, he immediately sent the rest of the people out, leaving only the two's closest subordinates, played by Yu Zizhen's private soldier, guarding the door for them.

This was very common in the past, so the spies installed by the Empress Dowager Lu and the Empress Xiao Lu just tried their best to eavesdrop on their conversations in some corners. .

However, neither the "Emperor" nor the "First Prince" spoke. They each took a large bucket of gasoline and poured it bit by bit around the First Prince's bedroom as quietly as possible.

When he was ready to light the fire, Yu Zizhen, who played the role of the emperor, called all his people outside the house into the house under different excuses, and then retreated to the entrance of the secret passage before the spies could react.

Two of her personal guards were responsible for cutting off the rear, while half of the remaining personal guards were guarding her, while the other half went to explore the exit of the secret passage.

When everyone was in their places, Yu Zizhen nodded slightly to the two people.

The two men understood and immediately threw out the fire sticks they had blown up.

The fire stick ignites the oil-soaked curtain, and then burns all the wooden products in the house along the oil line.

Yu Zizhen's two private soldiers saw the flames quickly spreading to the door, and then they jumped into the secret passage.

They worked together to close the stone slab at the entrance of the secret passage, and then quickly ran towards the exit of the secret passage on the other side, chasing the backs of Yu Zizhen and others.

At the same time, the confrontation between Queen Mother Lu and Lu Tong has officially begun.

Compatriots from the same mother who once trusted each other and cooperated tacitly, now looked at each other's eyes without the original warmth.

The Empress Dowager spoke before Lu Tong, "Please give up the position of head of the family to Lu Gao from the first house."

Lu Gao is the son of the Queen Mother's eldest brother. The Queen Mother's eldest brother passed away early, and his eldest son Lu Gao inherited the Lu family's original title of Marquis of Wenchang.

Originally, because of Lu Tong's ability and sophistication, the Queen Mother never thought of cultivating other spokesmen. However, Lu Tong's ambition gradually grew, and now he was willing to risk her life for that position. The Queen Mother would never let him go again no matter what. He sat in the position of the head of the Lu family.

Although her nephew is far inferior to Lu Tong in terms of talent, who hasn't grown up bit by bit.

She believed that by the time she died, Lu Gao would be able to support the Lu family.

As for Lu Tong, she planned to let him get seriously ill in the palace and simply die.

After all, as long as he lets Lu Tong out of the palace, Lu Tong will definitely not come into the palace alone like this time.

Even if the palace door was closed today, or if he had seen the chief steward of Cining Palace before approaching the palace door, he would definitely not have come in. (End of chapter)
